Helen has just returned from her dream holiday and she's feeling fabulous. What about Finn, is he tempted to go on a break too? Will he get the special offer in time?
海伦刚刚过完她梦寐以求的假期,她感觉非常好。芬恩呢,他也想去那里度假吗?他能及时赶上特别优惠吗?

Finn: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Finn.
芬恩:大家好,欢迎收看地道英语节目。我是芬恩。

Helen: Hello everyone. I'm Helen.
海伦:大家好,我是海伦。

Finn: Helen, you look a bit different today.
芬恩:海伦,你今天看上去有些不一样。

Helen: Oh, really? In what way?
海伦:哦,真的吗?怎么不一样?

Finn: Erm, you are glowing, you look so energised.
芬恩:嗯,你容光焕发,看上去充满活力。

Helen: Really, I'm so flattered. I was invited to this amazing place on a tiny island by my friend.
海伦:真的吗?我真是受宠若惊啊。我朋友邀请我去了小岛上一个极好的地方。

Finn: Oh wow, so you were away for the weekend?
芬恩:哦,哇,所以你上周末外出了?

Helen: Oh yes. It's the best holiday I've had in years.
海伦:对。这是我这些年来度过的最棒的假期。

Helen: Sun, sea, just beautiful and tranquil.
海伦:阳光,大海,美丽又宁静。

Helen: It wasn't. It was actually about 200 pounds for both of us including flights. You should think about going.
海伦:不高。实际上,算上飞机票,我们两个人一共花了200英镑左右。你可以考虑一下去那里度假。
